The weather forecast in Iceland over the coming days calls for recent weather patterns to continue, meaning that snow for Christmas in the south look unlikely. However, those in northern and eastern Iceland are still keeping their fingers crossed for a White Christmas.
Many people are currently travelling around Iceland returning home for Christmas or simply venturing to the towns for Christmas shopping, and snow is clearly not a friend of road transport. This doesn’t change the fact though, that many people dream of a white Christmas and no amount of traffic chaos can dampen their enthusiasm.
Oli Thor Arnason, meteorologist, says that the weather is likely to be calmer than it has been recently and that it is still not possible to accurately predict the weather on Christmas Eve due to changeable weather systems in the area. He adds, however, that snow is unlikely for the south and west, but likely for the north and east.
Current road conditions reflect this, with easy driving in the south and west but more difficult conditions in the north and east.
